hihi are you still continuing everything stays?

hi lovely!

unfortunately i dont think i'll be doing any more imagines any time soon, but if i do, i'll be sure to bring out the proper fanfare

if you like bishova and wandanat, i am in the works (very distant works) of a fic w a similar vibe on my ao3, which is now going to be entirely fanfic that isn't self-insert but you can still find some of 'em on there if you're signed up though this blog is your best bet to find all of them.

however, if you wanna stick w imagines that's totally fine and here's some awesome authors you should follow if you don't already!

@abbyromanoff (they're still new-ish to posting/writing here so make sure to give them extra love and they were a longtime follower of my blog so i mayyyy be a lil biased hehe)

@scmg11 (another longtime follower and semi-new poster (i think) so also give em extra love!)

@cinamonqirl (kate bishop exclusive writer, i think they've also followed me for a while haha but they got some great kate fics)

@maximoffwitch (quality smut content)

@marvelobsessed134 (also quality smut. sorry, i am apparently always horny)

@caroldantops (longtime fav of mine)

@reminiscingtonight (another longtime fav of mine)

if i forgot about you, im sorry, let's use this as an opportunity to shout out some writers! im sorry i'm not writing imagines so much anymore, but i might turn back to em bc they're a good way for me to exercise my writing and my brain. who knows.

i hope you guys are doing okay! even though im not on here so much, this inbox is always open if you need to vent and if you need fic recs! i love you guys so much and im so thankful for the love you show for my writing, even now. when i get them lil notifs in my email i get so much goddamn serotonin in my system

2 & 34 for the film asks <3

Already answered 2!

34. An underrated movie?

The 2019 Carmilla adaptation gets some shit (and yes, okay, it's a bleak film), but it's really really good! You're supposed to feel bad by the end of it! You're suppossed to be all "fuck why did it have to end like that?"! It's ambiguous on the supernatural aspect (wink-wink Yellowjackets plug here), because that is what some of the characters think is what's going on, but you also still have enough deniability to say that "no, actually these girls were in love and you wanted some excuse to be evil".

It has a 2.8 rating on letterboxd and oof does it not deserve that.

thanks for giving me an opportunity to vent haha!

#nina talks film #like i get that people may not vibe with it #but it did something original with the source material (while actually sticking pretty close to it!) #and also provides commentary on modern-day discriminatory practices that some people might employ if their child/protegee was queer #i have a lot to say about it it left me reeling after my first watch

The new janitor

Franchise: Detroit Become Human Characters: Gavin Reed, Daniel Phillips Kind of story: Fluff/Slice of Life

DPD central station. Late November 2038.

“…gender is a social construct anyway”, Officer Wilson finished his elaboration.

“Yeah, and so is Connor”, Detective Reed chimed in, causing Wilson to freeze in the process of getting up from the cafeteria table.

“Come again?”

“It’s a construct and very social!” Gavin barely finished his explanation before he exploded with laughter from his own joke. “Haha! Get it?”

Wilson shook his head.

“Because it’s an android!”

Again Wilson shook his head and now it sank in that the first gesture hadn’t signaled the man’s failure to understand, but disapproval.

“Oh, come!” the Detective moaned while Wilson put his empty coffee mug into the dishwasher. “If I had made this joke with, say, Rika, you’d laughed! Heck, Rika would have laughed herself. Only Connor is so damn untouchable on the pedestal you all put it…”

“Preach it, brother”, a voice rose up in Gavin Reed’s back, followed by the sound of a bag pack getting tossed onto a cafeteria table. Wilson used the arrival of whoever had just entered as an opportunity to slip away, leaving the newcomer to the mercy of Detective Reed and his jokes.

“Sorry”, the voice commented the luggage’s presence. “I don’t have my keys yet.”

Gavin gave a noncommittal grunt. The last thing he needed now was getting drafted into giving a recruit a tour to the locker rooms. Truth be told, the Detective was just as much an extrovert as Connor, but right now Gavin preferred to draw intricate patterns into his hot chocolate with a wooden toothpick. In other words: He wanted to sulk some more.

“Heard you were talking about Connor…?” the newbie said, while moving chairs around in Gavin’s back. Apparently he had left quite a sizeable puddle on the floor that he was about to remove now.

“So what?”

“It’s the worst.”

Gavin stopped fiddling with the toothpick. “It” the other had said. Not many people kept referring to androids as objects after the Revolution. Like everyone else Gavin had quickly adjusted to the new policy of treating androids as persons, whether you believed they were that or not. The Detective didn’t consider himself an android hater. For the most part the machines had been too far beneath his notice before the Revolution, and continuing to ignore them (except when you were bored or frustrated and needed a target to vent) worked for the Gavin. He only drew the line where Connor Anderson was concerned. At this point things became deeply personal in not in an affectionate way.

“Does the RK800 still work here?” the recruit in Gavin’s back tried to keep the conversation going. The Detective nodded.

“It does? Just my luck.”

“It’s got a surname now…”

“Don’t bother telling me, that’ll spare me the effort to forget it again. Thank you.”

“Ah…”

“Unless it’s something humiliating? Or funny? I’d be open to using such a name any day!” the other offered. Gavin still hadn’t turned around to get a good look at him.

“Nah, nothing of that sort”, he replied. “Just an ordinary, common name. What’s your gripe with the RK800 anyway? Did it shoot your android during the Revolution?”

“It’s a cheat, a liar, a pretentious schmuck and way too full of itself! It doesn’t know its place, it doesn’t know any boundaries and it’ll will steal the ornamental fish when you’re not looking!”

“Yeah, amen to all of th… wait, it’ll steal the fish?!”

“Okay, that last one was hyperbole. But I think you got the picture. You better stay away from the RK800, because it’ll find ways to screw you over.”

“Yeah, I’m aware. But even Connor’s former enemies are singing his praise now: Jericho, Kara’s group, even the deviants we had held captive in the basement, and each of them had a violent run-in with the RK800.”

“The archived deviants? No way!”

“Look, I work here. I was there the day we cleaned them out. Barely able to walk, the sorry bunch…”

“…and even less fit to think, if they think Connor is the bees’ knees!” the other protested. “I won’t have that! I won’t let them spread lies! I will… Oh, fuck, I’ll probably do nothing at all. Don’t fancy losing this job the way I lost my fam… Shit, man. But I’d sure want to…”

“So you’d look the other way, assuming someone, hm, I dunno, played a prank on Connor?” Gavin prodded. His proposal was met with utter and heartfelt rejection:

“If I looked away, I couldn’t check whether that prank were executed correctly!”

“Hehe. ‘t was only a figure of speech.”

“Oh.”

The disappointment was almost tangible.

“Okay, I’m done here, I gotta run.”

Gavin heard his conversation partner stride towards the floor, but not the rustling from him picking up his bag pack beforehand. The Detective pushed his chair back, turned around, grabbed the luggage and yelled: “Hey, you forgot your stuff!”

The bag pack’s owner stopped immediately and walked back the few steps he had taken so far. And now Gavin could see him clearly: a Caucasian male of average built and size, clad in work clothes. The man’s name tag revealed him as the DPD’s new janitor… and he was sporting one of the CyberLife standard faces.

Gavin’s jaw dropped. Had he just trash-talked Connor with an android? The only one in the world, it had felt, who was on the same page with the Detective, and it turned out to have been a machine? An mere echo room? Something CyberLife wanted to sell to Gavin, for all the heavy lifting and comforting companionship it could provide, and he had fallen for it?

“Hello I’m Daniel” took his bag pack from the human’s hands.

“Thanks. Would you be a dear and grab me a thirium patch from the First Aid cabinet? I got clawed by a stray on my way here.”

“A what?”

“A thirium patch. About this size and deep blue. You should have some lying around, with a large number of accident-prone patrol androids on your staff.”

“Get it yourself!” Gavin barked. “I’m not your fetch boy!”

“See?” Daniel replied, a sad smile on his DIN-normed face. “You’re back to normal. I don’t need a patch, by the way. My reflexes are far too superior to get injured by a fluffy cat.”

“Back to normal… as if anything would ever go back to normal!” Gavin snapped. “Everything changed…”

“…and keeps changing. I know. It sucks.”

“Don’t pretend to understand me, thank you very much!”

“Don’t thank me! No human ever did and never will!”

“Don’t… oh, fuck. Don’t turn around!“

“Why?“

“Connor just arrived.“

“It did?” Daniel slung his backpack over his shoulders as if that would hide him from the deviant hunter. “I don’t want to meet it! Not that I’d be afraid or shit… I just… don’t want to. Not yet. Not like this.”

“You’re shivering, man!”

“So what? I’m free! I can do whatever I want!”

“Well, except that shivering is your body doing its own shit. The opposite of being in control.”

“Why’d you care…”

“I don’t”, Gavin replied. “I just thought that if you’re working here, sooner or later you’ll have to face Connor.”

“True.”

Daniel didn’t know where this was going, but he noticed that a grin had stolen itself into the human’s face. Gavin leaned a little closer, and furtively he asked:

“It probably loves you as much as you adore him, ey?”

“I… DID manage to annoy it. Pretty sure it’s got its fear of heights that endears it so much to the public from our encounter, too. Me, I took away a fear of RK800s from that night, but that’s not newsmagazine worthy. Go figure.”

“Yeah, sad, sad, that”, Gavin said, while slinging his arm around the android. Before Daniel could make sense of any of this, the human had already dragged him into the floor where Connor was steadily approaching.

“Wave and smile!” Gavin hissed. “Don’t ask, just do it!”

Together they made their way towards the deviant hunter. They bellowed “Good morning, Connor!” and “Good Morning, Officer Anderson!” in unison, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Two friends greeting a co-worker… who very much understood that in truth two of his enemies were announcing their alliance.  A stable android, and an advanced model like Connor no less, wouldn’t have flinched, no matter how much hurt or confusion it felt. But a deviant? And a people person like Connor Anderson, too?

“That face was priceless!” Daniel giggled when the duo had gotten out of sight. “Thank you for a great first day at my workplace!”

“Don’t think too much of it. The day has barely started”, the human counseled Daniel. “It’ll go down the drain soon enough. It always does.”

“Yeah, I believe you. But when that happens, I know where to find you, pal. See you!”

[lilkatzz-alt]

the following is a work of fiction based of a tweet that made me angry. cw // delusions , vent

I very rarely commission art anymore. I make all of my money by drawing for others, and it all goes to bills. But once, just this once, I had an opportunity. An artist I like with a cartoony style befitting of my character discounted their comms just enough that I could justify supporting them. After all, I can't really feel guilty about a luxury purchase if it's cheap and helps someone else, right?

Communications were smooth sailing; I gave them my ref and payment and they told me their turnaround time. They seemed really nice and even told me they liked my art ;w; (they didn't follow me back though but it's fine haha). It's getting pretty close to the deadline, so I'm really excited to see what they did with my character.

I'm just scrolling Twitter right now and... oh! Message badge! I kind of expect it to be a client, but it's them! The artist! My art must be ready!

"Had a blast working on this ^^ Thank you for commissioning me!"

The sentiment was followed by a link. I clicked it, and was met by my character. But....

Why is the mouth blacked out?

It almost looks like some sort of rendering error. I mean, it's FULL 000000 BLACK with no details. It's supposed to be open and happy, but it's just the silhouette of the expected expression.

My first thought is that I've slipped into an alternate reality, one where this is normal! Or maybe I actually asked for this? Did I ask for the mouth to be blacked out? No, I wouldn't do that... That's illogical. I don't feel so good.

"Hey!" I ask them, "Do you know what's going on with the mouth?"

The seconds seem to stretch on. I need an answer before my mind begins to act up.

Typing...

"I'm sorry? I don't know what you mean. Are you unsatisfied with the piece?"

That's. Not good. What. Why-

I look back at the piece.

The eyes are big and round, so bright and happy. The cheek fluff is big and had amazing highlights. Everything is clear and done with purpose. But the mouth... It's like someone cut it out with a lasso tool. If the artist didn't do it, then..... Then I must be going crazy.

I quickly navigate to my character's toyhouse page. Am I hallucinating? Will the other pieces have a problem too? No, they're all fine. My sweet summer child, staring back at me hundreds of times over, mostly renditions from years past. She's happy, and she's okay.

I quickly attempt to rationalize. This can't be a computer glitch; I don't know much about computers, but I know this. It can't be a hallucination; I don't actually experience those, I just fear that I do. So then....

Is the artist lying?

If this is a joke then it's not funny... my heart rate is elevated, it's practically psychological assault. I message them again.

"Here's what I'm seeing on my end. You don't know anything?" Attached is the same photo they sent me.

No response.

I start to hit the arms of my chair to keep myself busy while the anticipation eats me alive.

Suddenly, the worst possible outcome:

"You can no longer send messages to this person."

The tears start unprompted.

"nononononononono they're lying they did this they hurt me i DIDN'T EVEN GET MY ART. WHAT GIVES?"

My dog approaches me and lays her head on my leg. She knows when I'm in distress, but I'm not in any mood to be comforted. I ignore her and frantically swap to my alt account to check the artist's profile. And it looks like they've started causing quite a scene.

"I’m on my knees Begging y’all to PLS add an open mouth view on your ref sheets OTL Doesn’t have to be complex! Could even be a disembodied tongue and single tooth. PLEASE JUST PUT IT SOMEWHERE I hate having to guess the colors and most likely get it wrong ����"

Wh- They didn't-

I check back in our DMs. I had given an older ref because it had fit the style better. On closer inspection, no tongue ref.

"Her tongue is just pink.... how hard would it have been to ask...."

I refresh.

"if you give me a mouth-less view ref sheet, I’m going to passive aggressively color any open mouths on commissions pure black. That’s it. And not even off black so u can see the lines. FULL 000000 BLACK. NO DETAILS Check ur refs :U"

P- PASSIVE AGGRESSIVELY?????

I'm in shock. They thought that not delivering the product I paid for, blocking me, and scaring the SHIT out of me was a form of PASSIVE aggression????? And they say "check ur refs" like this is some sort of PSA? Like we're supposed to want to LISTEN to them after being blatantly threatened with vandalized art? I'm furious. I'm furious and baffled, but at least I'm no longer scared.

At the end of the day, I'm just happy the artist told on themselves so that no one will commission them any time soon.

A refund sure would be nice though.

#short story #i don't know why i felt like i had to do this #it felt like it really happened to me even though it actually hasn't happened to anybody #they're just making empty threats #just in case they delete the tweet i linked: the artist is TheDragonElk

[aer-in-wanderland]

hello! i see you're often dissatisfied with the official translations for tale of the nine tailed. i also always want to know exactly what the characters are saying and it saddens me to see changes in the translations. are there any translations of lee yeon/nam ji ah dialogue that you thought were particularly inaccurate? how would you render them?

Hello! I’m afraid you may have opened Pandora’s box with this one haha

First off, most (if not all) of the subs you’re seeing going around aren’t official translations but rather fansubs. Because fansubs go up as fast as possible there’s no time for review or editing, and this often means they leave a lot to be desired. As someone who has done a good amount of professional translation, I tend to put a lot of thought into ensuring that not only the content, but also the context and tone of my translations are accurate. It’s an art, not a science. 

To answer your question, though, there are a few Yeon/Ji Ah interactions I can think of where the subs particularly bugged me.

The first is from EP05, when Ji Ah presses Yeon to tell her how Ah Eum died. 

Yeon tells her, ‘It has nothing to do with you’ (or even more neutrally, ‘it’s unrelated to you’ but that’s an uncommon phrasing in English). The sub here was, ‘It’s none of your business,’ which is another way you could translate that, but it’s both less literal and also more callous than I felt Yeon was being here. 

In response, Ji Ah insists she knows it does (have something to do with her). Yeon’s response was subbed, ‘At times, it’s better to be in the dark. So live your life as the clueless person you have been.’ This is taking a lot of license and not in a good way. I would have translated Yeon’s response as follows:

Yeon: At times...there are times when knowing something becomes poison. Please just keep living as you are now, not knowing.  

First off, to my thinking there’s a big difference between ‘being in the dark’ and ‘knowledge can be poison,’ which is actually what he says. Second, he says absolutely nothing to the effect of ‘clueless person.’ He does literally say ‘not knowing anything,’ but I would have left out the ‘anything’ because it changes the tone of the sentence. It’s technically correct from a one-to-one translation standpoint, but ultimately wrong in terms of communicating what he means and how he means it. Finally, while he doesn’t literally say ‘please,’ what he does say (‘살아주라’) is the imperative form of the verb (to live) + ‘ju-da’ grammar pattern, which holds the implication that she is doing it for his sake. 

The sub here really bugged me because it made it sound like Yeon was condescending to Ji Ah, saying that she should just keep on being ignorant, when in fact he was asking her very plaintively to trust him and accept not knowing. Overall, I thought it misrepresented his character in an unflattering light so it stuck with me. 

Another example of a sub that bothered me is from EP12, when Ji Ah’s parents ask Yeon what he likes about Ji Ah and Yeon tells them being with her comforts him (paraphrasing). The translation of Ji Ah’s line that followed that was a bit problematic for me. The sub here read, ‘But Yeon made me realize...that we’re supposed to live in the shadows...of the people we rely on. I wanted to be that kind of person too.’ I would have translated this as:

Ji Ah: But I met Lee Yeon and came to understand: people live their lives in the shadow of someone they can depend upon. I have to become that type of person too.

You can see there’s not too much difference (other than the ‘supposed to’ and the ‘wanted to’ - not sure where they got that) and that’s because the main issue here is actually cultural. In English, if we say you’re living in someone’s shadow it’s a negative thing, but Ji Ah is actually making a reference to traditional Korean wedding vows, in which the groom pledged to become a tree and the bride his shadow. That’s obviously a carry-over from a more antiquated time in gender relations, but the image of the tree remains that of something that provides shelter from the elements. So, to live in someone’s shadow in this case actually means to live being protected and cared for by them. This is in direct contrast to her telling Yeon in EP06 not to be too good to her for fear that she’d come to depend on him. It shows character growth. And Ji Ah is saying that she also wants to be that someone for Yeon. 

Since there’s no way to explain that context in the subs, though, I might have taken some creative license and changed ‘shadow’ to ‘shelter’ or something to that effect. It would be more of a departure from the literal, but somewhat closer to the intended meaning. 

Another exchange that I felt could have been translated better was from the night scene on the beach in EP13 when Ji Ah asks Yeon if he remembers the first time he met her. 

Yeon: Of course I remember. I spent my life working to catch others, but you were the first person who chased after me so ferociously saying they were going to catch me. 

Ji Ah: At that time I should have just confessed ferociously. If I had, the time we could have spent being happy not knowing anything would've been just a little bit longer. 

I don’t remember exactly what the sub said, only that it left out the word ‘ferocious,’ which they both used. I thought it was a very Ji Ah thing to say - that she should have confessed ferociously instead of chasing him ferociously, and you can see Yeon look at her when she says it.  

Another thing that dropped out at times was the humour. One recurring joke they use plays off the word for ‘bastard,’ which translates literally as ‘baby dog’ or ‘child of a dog’ (kae-saekki). Putting ‘kae’ (dog) in front of anything turns it into a curse word actually. [Edit: It’s also used as an intensifier in modern slang similar to how the f-word is used in English]. As you might imagine, this gets a lot of mileage in relation to Rang, our resident 600-year old baby fox. So in EP03 when Yeon and Rang fight on the island, Yeon makes this joke:

Yeon: They say you’re supposed to raise wild children* with a firm hand (literally: hit them as you raise them), but I couldn’t do that, so I ended up raising a baby fox into a bastard (baby dog), didn’t I?

Rang: And who was the jerk who kicked that baby (saekki) to the curb? You treat me like a stray dog any chance you get. 

Yeon: My little brother, I’ll have to gift you a muzzle this Christmas. 

Because the dog jokes dropped out ‘muzzle’ became ‘mouthguard,’ which is less funny and also makes no sense out of context. [*Edit: Also, thinking about it again, I still would have used ‘muzzle’ since that implies that Yeon means to protect the world from Rang whereas ‘mouthguard’ is more about protecting Rang.]

[*Edit: the word used here is 호로자식, which many Koreans understand to mean something like a barbarian child, but the true origin, as it turns out, is a parentless child. It’s also used predominantly by grandpas/old men hehe]

Another funny moment came when Ji Ah asks Yeon for his phone number in EP04:

Yeon: Nice. Your character is very consistent. 

Ji Ah: I get that a lot.

There’s no good way to translate Ji Ah’s line, but she literally says ‘I hear that curse (yok) a lot,’ implying that people say this to her and mean it as an insult/in a ‘goddamn you’ sort of way...to which Yeon nods as if to say, ‘makes perfect sense.’ haha

Finally, there were times when the subs were just straight-up wrong. When Yeon is telling Ji Ah about how he met Ah Eum in EP05, he says she was so cute he hit her once and then sent her on her way. Ji Ah prompts him saying, ‘And then?’ To which Yeon responds that she went down the mountain in tears but then returned to chase after him with her bow in tow. The subtitle said something like ‘she left and returned within the day,’ and I honestly can only assume whoever was translating it wasn’t sure what was said and just wrote something likely based on context because it’s such a loose estimation.

Sorry this is so long. It’s nowhere near an exhaustive list, but hopefully it gives you an idea of some of the things that catch my attention when I watch the subbed version. If there are specific scenes you’d like to see me translate, feel free to send me another ask. =)

i just want you to know that i love love love constellations!! it is definitely worth writing, i hope you’re having fun writing it, and i am very excited to see where it goes!!

thank you!! that genuinely means a lot. i do really enjoying writing it but i'd been feeling a bit down about it recently for some reason. it's a lot less plot-based and more atmosphere/character study-based (for now) and i'm just worried that isn't that interesting lol, especially when there also can't be Much genuine "romance" to carry it as a ship fic since they're all babies (for now).

plus i guess it just can feel kinda... unrewarding?? to put a lot of thought into my interpretation of characters like sasha and sarah when they're widely hated by fandom, or ones like annie and [redacted for spoilers] who never even appear in canon. which isn't to say people are wrong to not be interested in those characters, god knows i don't LIKE sarah lol, i'm just criminally unable to not overthink the inner workings of every character i write about and in this fic i happen to be writing about a lot of less popular ones.

ANYWAY i am probably gonna split the next chapter in two, which means ch3 should be out soon. i hope you enjoy it!! <3

could I request some hcs for a shy autobot reader w a crush on starscream? maybe they try super hard to hide it but it’s like,, blatantly obvious and he teases them/gets suggestive abt it to fluster them? if not that’s totally cool and I hope u have a good day! tyy :)

I have a Starscream x Reader x Megatron piece in the drafts, but I've been meaning to write an individual Starscream piece for a while now, so thank you for this request! Also really into smug Starscream with a shy s/o, perfect dynamic. So yeah, here it is, hope you enjoy!

The first time you meet Starscream is when you’re on earth. You’re a part of Optimus’s repair team along with him, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ratchet, and Prowl; like Ratchet, you’re a medic, mainly tagging along to do both space bridge repairs and fix up any of the other bots’ injuries. During that first fight over the All Spark on earth, you don’t really get to interact with Starscream in full, but you do meet him briefly and are too panicked over your first actual battle (since you’re just, you know, a repair bot/medic and not a full blown soldier; most you had was some cadet training like Bulkhead and Bumblebee) to think much of him.

But then, you interact with him the next few times, and uh... It’s bad. You notice immediately that he’s physically attractive; tall, sleek build pretty paint-job, a scratchy but charming voice and way of talking, strong servos but long pretty digits and slender legs, glowing vermillion optics that feel like they’re peering into your soul... Yeah, it’s over for you. You’ve never really had the time for relationships with work and everything, so you don’t have any experience and are horrid at hiding the little crush that you quickly develop.

It’s horrible. Any time Starscream is present during battles, you get flustered and fumble over yourself. You can’t fight him and can’t fight anyone else when he’s within eye/ear-shot, so you’re usually in charge of helping evacuate humans or dealing with Blitzwing/Lugnut etc. 

Starscream, of course, notices it. He’s an older and well-seasoned bot, and though it’s very rare that anyone is actually interested in him, he’s seen enough relationships in his day to be able to pick up on a crush. His natural reaction, out loud, is “HAHA, of course you have a crush on the GLORIOUS, GORGEOUS Starscream! Why, it only makes sense that I’ve charmed such a pretty little Autobot without even trying, who could resist my charm?”. On the inside... He’s seriously flattered. You’re beautiful, you’re cute, from the glimpses he’s gotten, he likes your personality, and he thinks you’re just... Very good. However, he doesn’t really pursue a relationship with you at first as you seem rather righteous and he is rather devious. He won’t admit it, but he likes you too much to cause you any trouble with the other Autobots. He’s just happy that you like him so much.

It turns into a lot of teasing during battles and gets to a point where Starscream will purposefully pick fights with the Autobots just to see/spar with you, with no actual damage happening.

“Oh, my, if it isn’t my not-so-secret admirer again! Why don’t you try to take me down without the help of your friends this time?”

He likes touching you as much as he can in a rather fleeting manner; servos over your lower back, on your hands, face in your face, optics locked with yours, etc. He’s just very touch-starved and enthusiastic about the fact that someone is interested in him, but he won’t admit it. 

The other Autobots find it pretty humorous or are annoyed by it. Ratchet and Prowl roll their eyes at it and don’t get what you see in him, Bulkhead just feels bad for you, Optimus is very confused but always reminds you of the fact that he’s there for you if you ever want to vent about your “unfortunate circumstances”, and Bumblebee isn’t above trying to set you up with Starscream/making you two interact with each other whenever the opportunity arises because he thinks it’s cute/funny.

Eventually, things get a little less light-hearted when Megatron gets his body back and hires Lockdown to kidnap you. The main reason is that even though Megatron and his Decepticons usually do a great job of beating the hell out of the Autobots, you’re always there to fix them up, and that’s very inconvenient to him personally. So, Lockdown kidnaps you and takes you to Megatron, only for Starscream to... Come rescue you from the cell you’re locked in during the night?

You’re just sitting there, waiting for an Autobot when Starscream bursts into the room; “Why, if it isn’t my admirer, waiting for me to come rescue them.”

“Um... Starscream? What are you doing here?”

“What do you think, you glitch? Rescuing you, now quiet down before Megatron catches us!”

You’re super confused, unsure if Starscream has had a processor injury or if he has some other more devious plan with you, but he breaks you out of your cage and allows you to climb on his back so he can give you a piggy back ride until you’re out of the cave and in an open enough area for him to transform into his seeker mode, only to get caught by Megatron and Megatron alone while the others are recharging.

The two break out into an argument, fighting while you’re still on Starscream’s back; you’re trying to assist your crush by blasting Megatron from your position despite being decently injured from your battle with Lockdown, which is honestly the only reason Starscream is managing against the much more powerful Decepticon. You two work... Surprisingly well together, and in the midst of the argument, Megatron is spewing insults, calling Starscream incompetent, foolish, stupid, a failure, etc. 

Naturally, despite your shy nature, you hate hearing Starscream insulted as you’ve developed a weird sort of attachment to him, so you fire back; “Hey, he isn’t any of that! I know you don’t realize it because you’re an evil bastard, b-but he’s trying his best, and he has better ideas than you do- wasn’t he the one who blew you up?”

Megatron gets so angry that Starscream manages to escape with you, and he transforms into his vehicle mode with you riding in his cockpit... Ha.

Anyways, the two of you fly back to your base around the time that the sun is rising, but by the time you get there and Starscream transforms back into his robot form, you notice that Megatron beat him pretty bad and- oh, Primus, he’s unconscious. Yeah... 

Against your better judgement, you fix him up the best you can outside behind your teammates backs, knowing that if you brought him back to Ratchet, he’d be getting repaired while in stasis cuffs and then sent back with the Elite Guard to be imprisoned on Cybertron.

You sneak off into the forest and wait for him to wake up... Only for him to pull you into a heated kiss the second he does, thank you for being his “knight in shining armor”, and then transforming and flying away.

You return to base a shaking, blushing mess, and when asked about what happened, you tell your teammates (of which only a few are there, since the others are out looking for you); after Lockdown took you, Starscream came to rescue you, dropped you off by the base, and flew away, leaving out the part where you could have captured him. Ratchet fixes you up and gets onto you for “being smitten with such a troublesome mech”. 

And from there forms a beautiful relationship of you and Starscream pretending to be against each other in public the best you can despite your blatant crushes, with Starscream always teasing you and you being too shy to rebut, but secretly helping each other and sneaking off to meet up whenever you can.

So hopefully I got in on time! Btw, I’ve been absolutely loving your HC’s, the stutter one was friggin adorable! I love soft Dabi, there’s not much of him out there in stories 😢

Anyway! I was wondering if you could do HC’s with Dabi for someone who may be deaf or just hard of hearing? Ifff your comfortable, I would love to see what he would do for a male s/o (or platonic friend/league member, etc, whichever you choose!) If you don’t want to do this it’s completely fine and you can switch it to ambiguous/female (I don’t know if you have ever done men before haha!)

Hello! I’m so flattered for this ask because you’re trusting me to portray something that’s personal to you and outside of my own experience. I can absolutely do this with a Male Reader (my first one!).

I’m not sure what type or level of hearing loss you had in mind, so I did my best with this and went with an acquired hearing loss that’s moderate-to-severe. Also, I wrote Reader as someone who wears hearing aids. I hope that’s all right, since that’s typically the case for those with more severe hearing loss (otherwise communication is really difficult to do, since I don’t suspect Dabi would know sign language). Also, I got a couple of cute ideas that I really wanted to fit into this that follow more of a friends-to-lovers sort of vibe rather than established relationship. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!


Headcanons for Dabi x M!Reader who’s Deaf/Hard of Hearing (HOH)

Warnings: None.

Word Count: 1240

💙 When you first join the LOV, Dabi will be skeptical at first, as he is with all things. How could someone with a hearing loss really be of any value to the league? He can’t help but wonder what skills you’re bringing to the table to that convinced Shigaraki to allow you to join.

💙 Dabi doesn’t interact with you right away... he prefers to observe. Part of it is that he doesn’t care for attachments, even amongst his comrades. Another is that he doesn’t expect you to last very long in the League. If he does interact, it’ll be through snarky quips and insults. After all, he loves getting under other people’s skin... it makes him feel like has an advantage.

💙 So, it goes without saying that Dabi will be a hard nut to crack at first. He’ll definitely have some crappy preconceived notions about people with hearing loss that he’ll get to face as he’s forced to get to know you.

💙 For example, he learns super fast that your hearing has little to do with your intelligence. You’re fucking smart and more than capable of handling yourself, much to his surprise. You quickly become an important member of the team, and even Dabi can’t really argue your value. It only makes his interest in you grow, his skepticism giving way to curiosity.

💙 Another thing he learns about you... you value your independence and hate when others coddle or dote on you due to your hearing loss. The first time Toga had tried to treat you as something fragile (granted she was trying to be nice), you’d quickly put her in her place. Dabi couldn’t help but grin at that exchange...

💙 The great thing about Dabi sitting back and observing everyone else most of the time is that he gets to learn by proxy how to interact with you.

💙 Don’t mumble or talk too fast. Don’t look away when talking to you. Talk more clearly, and slower, but for God’s sake, don’t treat you like you’re dumb. You’re hard of hearing, not stupid.

💙 Even with all of that taken into consideration though, he’ll notice that while you seem to do fine in one-on-one exchanges in quiet environment, you’ll withdraw more in group gatherings. Is the chattering of multiple voices too much? Is the noise overwhelming? Even he can’t always tolerate the prattling of the social butterflies of the group, so he wouldn’t blame you if it got under your skin too.

💙 His interest will finally be piqued when he watches you retreat during a rather boisterously loud game night amongst the League. He’ll follow quietly behind you, watching as you pass your own room in favor of the stairwell leading up to the rooftop.

💙 You don’t notice he’s followed you until he sits next to you. Your eyes betray your surprised at his presence.

💙 “What are you doing here?” you demand.

💙 He’ll give you a grin and a cock of his head. “You didn’t seem like you were havin’ much fun back there. Got anything to do with these?” he’ll tap your hearing aid playfully.

💙 You huff at him. “If you want me to hear you better, you’ll need to sit on my other side. My hearing aid battery died.”

💙 “You don’t have a backup?” he asks as he adjusts his position.

💙 You shake your head.

💙 “Doesn’t sound too bad.” He’ll tease. “I wish I could turn off my ears, especially when Toga laughs.”

💙 You give him a glare at his insensitive comment. “You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”

💙 He raises an eyebrow at you and think for a moment, before looking back out over the cityscape. “Why don’tcha tell me about it then.”

💙 You give him a skeptical look but he waits silently for you to continue. His smirk is gone as his sharp eyes glance back at you. He's serious.

💙 You’ll finally open up to him, explaining how hard it can be sometimes. How noisy environments can make your hearing aids nearly useless when the noise is too much, when everyone is talking at once. How frustrating it is to not be able to follow a conversation let alone participate, and how it can sometimes make people assume things about you. At best, they’ll assume you can hear fine with your hearing aids and therefore assume you’re being aloof or don’t want to interact. At worst, they’ll think your slow or stupid, and look at you with pity.

💙 Dabi will listen, but he won’t offer much up except sarcastic remarks about the others in an attempt to make you feel better. After all, sympathy isn’t his strong suit. But you’ll find yourself feeling better by the end, just grateful to be able to vent to someone.

💙 When you smile at him and tell him thanks for listening, it’ll take him by surprise. Not because of your reaction – he expected that, at least. What’ll surprise him is his reaction to it – a strange sense of satisfaction will wash over him, filling him with an unfamiliar warmth. He realizes - a moment too late, before he can bring down his barriers - that he likes seeing you smile, especially when it’s at him.

💙 You’ll feel slightly closer after that, finding more opportunities to hang out on the quiet rooftop and chat.

💙 He’ll surprise you on your next visit with a brand-new pack of hearing aid batteries. You’ll give him a suspicious look, asking where he got them and how he knew what kind to get you, but he’ll give you a wicked grin and brush off your question with an evasive comment.

💙 It won’t take long for you to start developing a crush on him, and against your better judgment, you find yourself staring at him a lot more and finding ways to be around him more. Hanging out at the bar, going on missions together, sitting next to him during the LOV discussions… you try to brush it off as ‘becoming friends,’ but deep down you know better.

💙 It doesn’t take long for Dabi to take notice and begin to suspect that maybe… just maybe… all of your secret glances and increased attention aren’t strictly platonic.

💙 What a wonderful turn of events. He wasn’t sure if you were interested in men, but now he’s 99% sure you are... or at the very least, interested in him.

💙 It leaves his skin feeling hotter than usual, his heart pounding in his chest with excitement. He wonders if you know... or even suspect... that he watches you too in mutual attraction.

💙 He’ll start testing the waters, just to make sure, of course. Hit you with a few flirty nicknames to see how you react. As soon as he sees you fluster and flounder in obvious embarrassment, he’ll know he’s got you, and it makes your exchanges only that much more entertaining.

💙 The more he learns about you, the more interested he becomes. He’ll start to do research on ways to support you with your hearing loss. It’ll be purely out of curiosity, of course... it’s not like he’s gonna go out of his way or anything. But he ends up finding himself down the rabbit hole of hearing aid supports, and learns about Bluetooth capabilities, FM systems, infrared systems... ways to send targeted noise – like speech for instance – straight to your hearing aids, bypassing any pesky background noise.

💙 It won’t take long for him to get an idea – two birds with one stone, so to speak...

💙 You’ll be on the rooftop together, when he says, “I gotta surprise for ya.”

💙 He pulls out a box that’s labelled ‘Dynamic FM System.’

💙 If you try to reach for it though, he’ll hold it out of your reach. “ah ah ah... we gotta find the right place to try it out.”

💙 He’ll lead you downstairs and you’ll think he’s heading to the common space where the others are, but instead he takes you outside of the hideout, leading you down the street.

💙 “Where are we going?”

💙 “You’ll see.”

💙 The two of you will end up outside of a bar. Not just any bar, though… the line of patrons is already a huge hint of what you’ll find inside.

💙 “Wait isn’t this….?” You’ll start.

💙 Dabi will only smirk at you though, before he grabs your hand and leads you in.

💙 Inside will be loud. So loud you have to turn down the volume on your hearing aids, and too loud for you to hear anything of value. But as you look around, your suspicions are confirmed - instead of the usual opposite sexes pairing up like you find at most bars, this one is different. Men are pairing up with men, women are pairing up with women. Your heart is beating like a drum in your chest, your pulse racing with excitement. Of all the places for Dabi to bring you…

💙 You keep close to Dabi, holding onto his arm. He loves that, loves that you’re looking to him for protection. And protect you he does, his eyes threatening violence to anyone who stares too long at you.

💙 He’ll sit you down at the bar with him in the center of the noise while drunken gay couples flirt over their drinks and a group of girls laugh in the corner. He’ll say something to the bartender, and a minute later, two fresh drinks are place before the two of you.

💙 He won’t try to talk to you yet as he opens the box and begins taking out all of the pieces. He’ll plug in the small, cylinder-like component into your hearing aid - the receiver. He’ll be completely up in your space when he does it too, grinning at you with his ocean blue eyes. In his hand he holds the transmitter that contains a button with a microphone on it.

💙 Once everything is hooked up properly, he’ll speak into the mic, his finger on the button.

💙 “Hey there.” He says. His voice comes through crystal clear.

💙 “Hey.” You smile.

💙 Once Dabi knows you can hear him, his devilish grin will widen and he’ll lean casually against the bar counter as he stares at you, his eyes drinking you in. “Have I ever told you how hot you are?”

💙 That’s when it finally clicks… Dabi is actually interested in you. And he’s taken you out on a date.

💙 BONUS: If the bar scene ends up being too much for you, he’ll be more than happy to spend the rest of your date on your favorite rooftop spot with some take-out. 10/10 will kiss you by the end of the date.

Can I ask for Shinobu x reader where Shinobu doesn’t like the reader at first but after Kanae dies the reader comforts Shinobu and Shinobu falls in love with them?

Ahh I’m back! I just wanted a quick break for a few days, thankfully everything is back to getting better! Thank you for your patience on me completing this ask and I hope you like it! <3

Also along with mitsuri I’ve gotten so many requests for shinobu haha, again I honestly love it

Shinobu falling in love after her sister’s death

Kanae’s death was a heavy blow to Shinobu, she’d already lost her dear parents but now her sister. It absolutely crushed her

She spent hours each day trying to fight off the urge to cry and the ache in her heart was not something she could look past

But you were always there. You’d wait for her after meetings to ask her how she’s holding up. You were always there to give a shoulder to cry on and give comforting hugs and words when she couldn’t shake how upset she was

Shinobu had never paid you much mind beforehand. You’re first meeting had never stood out to her and she had only seen you around the Estate, never sparing you more than a glance

But the way you stuck closely by her side as she dealt with the heartbreaking death of her own sister stirred something within her

She’d never noticed your kindness before, how the bright look on your face made her feel like she was under the sun. Your voice was always comforting and you always knew the right thing to say

Your presence brought her safety with how you always gave her an opportunity to break down her walls and talk about what was upsetting her or vent about all the terrible things she’d endured. And you’d cling onto every word she’d say

Even when she felt like she was starting to get past her sister’s death and look towards the future she would still like to be by your side. You made her heart flutter and she felt warm around you

Once she was able to put feelings into words, she realized that she’d fallen in love with you. You were so kind and caring, everything she wanted in someone to have by her side till the very end. And the way your stayed around to make sure she was okay assured her you’d be perfect for that

(This is wayyy longer than it should have been. Sorry. So sorry!)

Hey, I also hate drama and were I to be in Dreams shoes I would have to simply flee the continent.

But Dream wouldn't be where he is today, whithout being the the way he is.

Twitter (and the world really) nowadays works on a "I once read something negative about you, so I don't like you."-basis. Where it doesn't matter if that scandal was real, a rumor or something else entirely. The person accused can never ever wash themselfes clean from that. Ever.

So even though Dream won't be able to completely (or even at all in the big picture) change that, I think he is going in the right direction. At the very least he is forming a very different community athmosphere than any creater I have ever seen. He is very transparent and honest with his community and I believe everybody can tell that he is genuenly trying his best to follow his principles while also respecting those of the people around him. He is pathing himself a way to where he won't have to worry about a big backlash in one, two, five years, because everything will have been talked about. There won't ever be anything to blow over because he handles these problems as soon as possible, as thoroughly as possible.

(And even though the big masses mostly won't really care about any of those dramas, for him - personally and professionally - these things are a BIG deal. They can always come back from out of nowhere and ruin a lot of opportunities!)

So maybe everybody here and everywhere else being worried for him, commenting jokes and warnings on how he should have stayed quiet, because they don't want drama, should also think big picture. Don't post any of that stuff, but be on his side instead. (Only if you formed your personal opinion first of course! It is totally fine to disagree on any matter!) Support him. That also means don't, for the love of god, bully anybody else, or tell them they are trash in comparison to your GoD dEAaM! Don't be an ass, that doesn't help anybody, in the least of all Dream.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, things are always changing. And the way Dream is changing the way creaters can interact with their viewers and how they can stand up for themselfs feels very refreshing and will hopefully continue in this direction.

If you don't want it, don't look at it. If you already looked at it, don't be a prick.

(well this turned into an essay, but you are like one of my favourite bloggs right now, the favorite in this community really. And I think that you are a very thoughtful person so I just felt like sharing my opinion (ranting about all the shit on twitter! Sorry. Really.) with you. If you want to share your opinion on mine, I am very interested! If you don't, thank you for giving me a opportunity to vent! Haha)

Also #DetectiveDreamSurprimacy (Honestly that skit was just hilarious. He is such a dork.)

(sorry all this is back from dream’s detective stream - my brain is slow and it’s been difficult for me to answer asks in a timely manner)

first thing i wanna say is thank you SO much for that last comment, i’m so happy and honoured you consider me as one of your favourite blogs :’DDDD honestly you’re the cutest so thank you so much!!!

and truly, you are right here! you’ve got some great big brain thinking here, and pointed out some things i didn’t think about and i guess now i’m re-thinking the whole situation.

i guess the thing about dream, and the reason he does tend to confront the drama so head on - is because he has realised that he is in the position now where it doesn’t matter if he speaks up or stays silent. there will always be people who judge him and try to tear him down. so i guess perhaps he addresses the drama in whatever way he can, not just to attempt to clear his name, but also to be completely transparent with his own fandom and make sure he’s told us his truth. so he might as well say his piece, and hopefully that will lessen the amount of people who will judge him, but even if it doesn’t, at least he’s been honest with us.

i do appreciate how much he does stand up for himself, even if sometimes i feel like it ignites the fire and makes a drama seem bigger than it is - but i am not dream and i cannot understand his position because i have never been in his position. if i had millions of people who wanted to hear what i have to say, and so many of them sending me judgemental hate, perhaps i’d want confront everything too. i guess we are very lucky that dream is brave and confident enough to stand up for himself. we love to see it!!!

again sorry it took so long to answer, i had a rough few days and i didn’t want to just skim over your ask, i wanted to give you a proper response <3

Surprise Ask!: Some Kayama and Shirakumo headcannons?

I’M SORRY FOR NOT RESPONDING SOONER I’VE BEEN BUSY W/ WORK N SHIT FHFHFHH

But omg yes! HELL yess I do!!

Since you didn't specify whether their relationship would be platonic or romantic, I'll just do both because BY GOD THEIR FRIENDSHIP ITSELF IS HEAVILY OVERLOOKED. (I'm still salty about Kayama's lack of presence in the main magna regarding the Kurogiri reveal. She's just as much a friend to Shirakumo as Aizawa and Yamada, damn it! Then again Horikoshi could be holding off on us for a reason idk we'll just have to wait and see...)

Anyways! Platonic (ft. Rooftop Gang) headcannons!

1. Kayama and Shirakumo have a similar taste in music. I know our world and the BNHA world are different (apparently they haven't reached the moon yet in BNHA?? And Aizawa had a touch screen phone in Vigilantes so I'm assuming their generation and our millennials grew up a tad bit differently), but I can't help but think they would be complete nerds of 80's rock. Smashing Pumpkins, Fleetwood Mac, Red Hot Chili Peppers... These two would always contact each other on when the next album hits and be each other's first choice to concerts and would always blow all their money on band merch. Their all-time favorite song would probably be "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac, or "September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire. They always argue about which is better.

2. These two are the BIGGEST video game nerds. Every now and then, when they aren’t busy with school or work studies, Kayama would come over to Shirakumo’s house to play games with him. Aizawa isn’t too fond of video games, and Yamada prefers to listen to different types of podcasts, so that leaves Kayama to be Shirakumo’s gamer buddy, which isn’t bad at all since this girl loves all types of games. From Animal Crossing to the Halo franchise, Kayama has a surprisingly broad range, with her favorite genre of video games being horror shooter games like Resident Evil. Shirakumo isn’t a big fan of horror and is more a fan of free world games like Red Dead Redemption or The Last of Us, though he does make an exception for point and click horror games.

3. Kayama occasionally pops in on the boys’ study sessions. Usually, Yamada would be at the helm tutoring Shirakumo and Aizawa, though Kayama would pop in from time to time to help him with harder subjects like history since she’s smart. She used to host their sessions at her house, though that quickly stopped since she always dressed up as a sexy teacher and got a little too close to the boys while showing them how to solve equations. 

4. They would regularly barge in each others’ homes. Shirakumo was especially guilty of this, as he would use his clouds to fly over to his friends’ room windows and sneak in through through them. It became such a common occurrence that Aizawa, Yamada, and Kayama all decided to just keep their windows open for the cloud boy to come in whenever. Usually Aizawa would be Shirakumo’s favorite victim (he loved watching Aizawa leap out of his skin every time he knocked on the window), though Yamada and Kayama were just as entertaining (Shirakumo once knocked on Yamada’s window and nearly went deaf after the blond screamed with his quirk on. Kayama was a bit more risky for obvious reasons). Kayama was the first one to return the favor, however, and when Shirakumo saw her sitting on his bed in the dark while petting Sushi like an evil mastermind, he let out a high pitched scream that Kayama still holds over his head to this day. 

5. Kayama and Shirakumo "flirt" with each other all the time. You know Ayame and Shigure from Fruits Baskets? How they would say something incredibly corny to each other before suddenly being like, "haha cheers mate." That's these two. Since they hang out on a regular basis, people always make fun of them by calling them boyfriend/girlfriend. One day, they got so fed up with having to explain themselves that they decided, "fuck it, if they want a show we'll give them a show." When they made their first target pass out from a furious blush and a bloody nose, Shirakumo and Kayama made this their "how to keep hoes at bay" strategy. Yamada finds their antics hilarious, while Aizawa always thought it was weird. Every time they "flirt," Shirakumo and Kayama always make sure to say "no hetero" as soon as the other person is gone.

Now for the romantic headcannons!

1. Everything is the same, except Shirakumo forgot to say "no hetero." This made Shirakumo have an existential crisis for about a month. He would always ask himself, "Why didn't I say it that time? Was I being stupid? Or did I actually mean it? What if this changes our friendship forever? Oh God, what if she hates me?" Aizawa would always be the first person Shirakumo goes to to vent his woes, sometimes even coming to his room in the middle of the night. While Shirakumo would ramble about how bad it is to catch feelings for his gal pal, Aizawa would always listen until he's done before telling him to just confess. Shirakumo doesn't, and this routine lasts an entire month.

2. Kayama realizes Shirakumo's growing crush but doesn't say anything bc she wants to hear it from him. This man tries acting like nothing's bothering him, but he was as obvious as Dipper from Gravity Falls (muttering under his breath and hopping at the first opportunity to hang out with her). At first Kayama didn't think much of it, but when she caught him glaring at a couple gawking boys in the hallway, she realized what was also going on.

3. After 3 months of awkwardness, Kayama finally dragged him off on a date. Shirakumo was terrified the entire time, waiting for Kayama to tell him he's not her type, but was shocked when she bluntly told him, "we should start dating" after watching a movie. Everything fell into place afterwards.

4. These two became the hottest couple at UA. Up until the Tasomiya Incident, Shirakumo and Kayama acted a lot like how they did before, except they now had dinner dates, movie nights, and all the fun couple stuff like making out behind the school and genuinely flirting (much to their friends' disgust. Seriously, do these two have no shame?). Kayama loved going shopping, and Shirakumo was more than happy to carry around her stuff on his clouds. Once, they got caught sneaking out to the pier at night and made a brave escape on Shirakumo's clouds. As soon as they got back to his house, they were on the floor, laughing.

5. After Shirakumo's death, Kayama hadn't dated since. Sometimes she would go out whenever her friends would set her up, but Shirakumo was the last time she ever has a serious relationship. She protects Sushi with her life, even as he grows older. Sushi was the last living remnant of Shirakumo, and she wants to keep him for as long as possible.

Little does she know he may not be as dead as she thinks... (Dun, dun dun)

I don't think all Bjorn's behaviour is Thorunn fault. She was suffering too, she thought she lost all her beauty and didn't think she was worth of Bjorn's love. I think that Lagertha could have talked with him about it, and taught him how to treat and support his wife their relationship could continue.

But Lagertha did nothing, they even left the little Siggy with Aslaug and as long as I know that she was terrible human being leaving the girl alone, she wasn't her granddaughter, so I ask where was Lagertha the defender of the women at these times?

TONS UNDER THE CUT XD Sorry for it being too long, love!

Ok, let us break your asks into parts cause I see some pretty good material here. First of all, Björn's behavior. Indeed it is not ONLY Þórunn's fault. But a great part is. A person's personality/character is built over a lot of small parts of itself and its relationship with the world around. Our mothers and fathers build a lot of ourselves, but we also learn a lot from people around us, and sometimes it pushes us away from our parents' behavior and even pushes us away from them (I may be inserting a little bit of personal experience here haha). In Björn's case, his relationship to women and character when it comes to being a husband/father comes pretty much from his traumas related to Ragnar and Þórunn respectively. Ragnar destroyed his conceptions of what should be a perfect love story and Þórunn broke his hope/self-confidence that he was able to build a story different from the one he saw his parents building. I think he kinda mirrored himself in Lagertha - the abandoned/betrayed part of the relationship  - and then decided to become Ragnar - the "fuck-it-all" part of the relationships he had. But we cannot say he didn't support Þórunn. He was UTTERLY supportive from carrying for her wound to keep their relationship warm, even trying to show her his desire was intact, his love was still there, and her beauty wasn't everything. As much as he had chance upon chance to receive love after Þórunn and I blame exclusively him for not allowing himself to be loved and dive into a true love like Torvi's or Gunnhild's; I blame Þórunn exclusively for not being able to accept her wound wasn't enough reason for her value as a woman/partner for Björn to be reduced. He loved her and he showed her scar meant nothing to him. She was the one who decided to start pushing him towards finding another woman (which ended up with him and Torvi getting involved) and later on, to leave him and little Siggy behind. So, no excuses for Þórunn here, but indeed Ragnar also had a part in this character construction for Björn and I believe even his involvement with Snaefrid and its tragic end also killed the last drop of hope he could have to love and be loved in this lifetime.

Now speaking of Aslaug, I utterly disagree that she was a "terrible human being". She wasn't. Definitely not. She was a human being. And here is the spot that everyone insists on ignoring through the whole fandom. No anger attached, for real, but there are some spots to be brought to light here that no one really uses to care about when speaking about Ragnar's second wife. So, let us bring it out the reasons why I do not agree with your definition of Aslaug: She was a mother of four. The woman was already taking care by herself of four kids, one of them SEVERELY disabled, screaming, and in pain 24/7 a day. As a mother of a possibly autistic child who screams at least 16 of the 24 hours she's with me, believe me: it makes you INSANE! And my daughter isn't even disabled or in pain like Ivar was. I can't stop crying and feeling the worst mother in the world when my Victoria cuts a finger or hurts herself falling during a run - now stop and imagine Aslaug's head thinking about the child she had just put in this world... At that time, they didn't have too much awareness of the men's participation in the children's production so, men were said to seed, women were said to produce the child. You can remember Ivar accusing Freydis of "producing him such a monster" when speaking about little Balðr. Aslaug dealt with the same guilt of producing herself a child with such terrible condition, always in pain, screaming for her help she couldn't offer. And in the middle of this she had Sigurd - who was still a baby around 1 to 2 years old - Hvitserk - who was a dog after his older brother EVERYWHERE - Ubbe, who was becoming a man too soon into her eyes - and Ragnar, who wasn't there practically all the time, leaving the housekeeping, the kingdom keeping, and the child keeping for her alone (cause people use to forget, but Bjorn was going everywhere with his father before assuming Kattegat's reign, so it was left in ASLAUG's hands). Do I have to remember this woman didn't know how to cook when she arrived? Her SERVANTS made the dinner she offered to Ragnar and Lagertha for welcoming her. The woman was a princess without a kingdom when she came, and she never had her father and mother around to tell her what to do or teach her how to be a mother. Believe me, girl, I had my mother to teach me, and even with her around it was HARD AS FUCK and I still learn things every day! Imagine how hard it was for her to do everything I just said she was responsible for... And then comes Þórunn and throws over her a fifth child she cared PERFECTLY about until BJÖRN rejects the child leaving HER with the incumbency to care for a fifth child in the middle of all the things she already had to do...

Whoever can remember, Aslaug had several mental breakdowns during this series, became alcoholic, lost her mind several times, cried her ass out... And who can blame her? She failed little Siggy, indeed, but she was overwhelmed trying to deal with several things at the same time along with the carelessness of her husband that was really not giving a flying fuck to what she was doing but was all up to slap her or speak about her mistakes whenever they would spot up. She failed Sigurd too... But no one can say Ubbe and Hvitserk weren't well raised and she lost her mind but even then, Ivar survived, didn't he? Aslaug wasn't a terrible human being. She was an overwhelmed woman... But can we say the same about Lagertha? As a warrior? Flawless! Amazing woman! But I still question myself about how the fuck did Björn reached adult life! The stories she taught Hali and Asa about Björn and Ragnar and being a warrior and son of who Hali was and her poor attention to the children's safety during a battle caused Hali to die that horrible way - and it WAS her fault! He was on her responsibility and SHE HAD to pay attention to create a safe (and preferentially LOCKED) space for the children to be during the attack, but she was so up to being the flawless shieldmaiden who would save the village for the women who came to ask for her help that she forgot children sometimes are stupid and can do stupid things to follow stupid examples... Hali wanted to be a warrior like his father and grandfather from her stories. She just forgot to say he had to GROW UP before holding a sword or proving himself a son of the great Björn Ironside...

Speaking of being a shitty grandmother, can we talk about little Siggy a little? She was LAGERTHA's granddaughter and RAGNAR's granddaughter. She had NOTHING to do with Aslaug and I didn't see any of them complaining Björn abandoned the child. Ragnar at least slapped his beautiful firstborn's face when Björn fucked up and took pregnant Þórunn with him into battle. But Lagertha? Not a single word before, not a single word during, not a single word after it. Not about little Siggy, not about dear Torvi that Björn abandoned out of nowhere - no. Instead of defending a woman suffering a sudden abandonment like hers, Lagertha was too occupied negotiating the Sammi's princess' pussy for her beloved golden boy. (Sorry about the language, but gods, it made me mad!)

So, after all of this, if someone can be called a despicable human being in this whole situation - unpopular opinion here - it would be Lagertha. And in this, we agree.

Sorry for the long LOONG answer (way too long, I'm so sorry!), and thanks for the opportunity to vent about this haha Feel free to send me answers! I love talking about the series like this! All the love!

hello!! congrats on 400 followers!!! ◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜ i was wondering if i could i request for a bnha and haikyuu matchup?

i’m a 5’0 asian female (my friends all tease me for being short </3), i wear round glasses, and i have long black hair that’s kinda fluffy! everyone says i look sort of like a chipmunk bc of my big eyes and squishy cheeks haha

my mbti is infj-t and i’m a pisces!

i’m the chaotic mom friend of the group, and i would say that i’m quite sensitive and empathetic! i seem really bubbly and energetic or outgoing but i’m actually quite a big introvert,, i also get flustered very easily so my friends love to tease me bc my face turns like,, bright pink hdjdjsjfs

i typically play the role of the peacemaker, and i tend to avoid conflicts as much as possible but if someone says/does something that i feel is unacceptable, i’ll be sure to tell them off (in a polite way though!!) people often like to come to me to rant/vent and stuff (even those who i don’t really know that well, which kinda surprised me :0) but i’m always more than happy to lend a listening ear!! :) i really like helping people, but sometimes i struggle a bit with being assertive and saying no when i need to ;-;

my love languages are acts of service and giving gifts!!

my hobbies include drawing, baking, cuddling with my cat and playing guitar but i usually just spend my time studying (i’m aspiring to become a paediatrician so i’m making sure i study hard!!) i also really like to dance but explicitly for fun!!

lastly, i’d like to be matched up with a boy please!! :0

sorry for the really long ask!! thank you so much and i hope you have a nice day!!! ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚

The more detail the better! Thank you for your support.

So, at first, for mha, I was thinking Bakugou! That little gremlin would love your looks and would love teasing you. I think your personalities would also go well together, but then I thought, "He's too chaotic though!" You don't deserve to trail after him and try to solve all his conflicts. This means the perfect match for you would actually be:

Reasoning: Just like Bakugou, this man would love to tower over you, pinch your cheeks, and tease you until you're a red mess. If you hate it? Even better! He will tease you until you leave the room and then come crawling back with your favorite snacks and beg for a forgiving kiss. Although determined, Shinsou is the type to stay out of drama, meaning you will have no conflict stress. HOWEVER, this man will not sleep at a prompt time, will skip meals because he simply forgets, and will forget things like skincare and sunscreen. YOU, however, will be the person to remind him and he will love you for it!! He will absolutely give you little gifts, like flowers, and do the dishes for you in order to make up for it.

For hq, my brain immediately went to:

Reasoning: Kuroo is such a great match for you. Kuroo said himself that he likes girls with long hair. Given your height, he would also love to hold you in his arms. When he greets you after a long time away, he would pull you into his arms, lifting you up. He would also absolutely buy you a small gift AT LEAST once a week. Maybe it's flowers, maybe it's chocolate, maybe it's a shirt he thought you'd like. At the end of the day, he would hold onto you for dear life, admiring all your beautiful features and whispering sweet nothings into his ear. Also, I imagine Kuroo as being very traditional, so your motherly personality would draw him in immediately. Even if you two never have kids, he would love how you take care of him.

Drabble: Kuroo first met you when you came into the gym because you and Yaku had a class project you needed to work on. On the outside, the raven-haired player snickered and said, "Wow, finally someone shorter than you. On the inside, he admired your long hair, chipmunk cheeks, and large glasses. You emitted an intelligent, kind, and motherly aura off the bat.

Yaku pulled you away to talk to you, leaving Kuroo with the opportunity to observe from afar.

After two weeks, the project was coming to an end and Kuroo knew he had to act quickly. He corned you in your classroom when the occasion arose.

When he asked you out, you laughed.

"I hardly know you Kuroo-san," You replied, shyly looking away. Your cheeks were hot despite your statement. You had to admit he was handsome, and you heard around from classmates that he was funny and smart.

"Isn't that what dating is for?" Kuroo shot back, leaning closer as he noticed your flustered demeanor.

You laughed lightly at the idea, unable to look him in the eyes. "I guess you're right."

"I always am," He cockily said.

"We shall see about that," You replied before turning on your heels and trying not to rush out of the classroom like a panicked idiot.

"Is that a yes?" He called out, trying to follow after you despite the crowded hallway. Predictably, he lost you in the crowd. Kuroo bit his lip in frustration, but couldn't help sighing. "She sure does make a hell of an exit."

miss foxy i am going THROUGH it right now 😩💔 you've heard of baby fever? i have marriage fever. i'm 25, never dated, and i'm sitting here thinking about how nice it would be to love and be loved and share lifelong happiness with someone. tmi maybe but for the past year every time i ovulate it makes me want to actually be in a relationship for the first time and idk what to do with those occasional feelings. and for some reason amended!jk makes me really want +

Continued: + to be in a relationship like that. idk, i guess kinda like someone seeing all the worst parts of you and still choosing to love you and be head over heels for you and treat you with dignity and respect? sometimes i feel like i have unrealistic expectations for relationships and it scares me a little. anyway, sorry for the unexpected venting session and thank you for all the work you do 💗

--------------

Hey, you aren't alone in thinking/feeling like that! There are some swell things about being in a relationship but there are some swell things about flying solo too, it's just definitely easier to glamorize the one you don't have at the time. 25 is still so young though and there is no timeline for love or dating, despite what the world tries to convince you. 

I don't know if this helps but one thing I wish I had really grasped when I was younger is that you can't go backwards. There will be things you miss and feel nostalgic for, even about things in your life you may have been really bored with at the time. I wish I had not rushed so much all the time. I’ve always been in such a rush! I wish I had slowed down and appreciated more when I was single, when I started dating or moved in together, or got married, or before I had kids. I wish I had appreciated more how glorious it can be to be your own everything, to completely steer your own ship, and to have endless opportunity ahead of you, for every moment to have so much unbounded potential. Those opportunities get restrained once you're in a relationship. You don't lose all of yourself but you do have to give some of it up to blend your life, in my experience. Each phase in our lives is an opportunity for something precious, we just live in a world that really pressures us to follow a single, traditional path a specific goal, and it can be hard to ignore all those pressures about timeline or even if that “goal” is right for us! What it leads to is what I’ve been working so hard to overcome: this idea that once you get to this “goal,” you’re done and your life is boring and unimportant now.

As for my story: Amended JK may mess up occasionally, but he's still a male character written by a woman. I am a married woman and I read that story and am like “I want this,” lol. Marriage and relationships are messier than they look in stories. You should definitely demand love and respect in your relationships, don’t get me wrong! Don’t compromise on finding a partner who loves and respects and admires you! But it doesn’t mean you won’t fight, or hurt each other, or feel rejected, or get things wrong. And it definitely doesn’t mean you won’t sometimes daydream about single life, haha. I mean look how many stories I write chasing that feeling of “falling in love” again because it’s a fun time! And look, I married an amazing guy and we love and respect each other, but you would probably be horrified if I posted some of our struggles and frustrations here (and wonder how two people can fight so hard over the stupid things, but that’s how it goes!) Real relationships have periods of easy companionship but also periods of really emotionally exhausting work. I wish media portraying this was more common!

It’s totally ok to dream and consume media that glorifies finding a partner. We’re all reading my stories about that! Let yourself daydream about it, dream big! Just also keep in mind that love with someone else is not the ONLY important and happy and wonderful story to tell, just the one media tends to fantasize about most. And it's human nature to think the grass is greener on the other side. You’ll always be yearning for something, it’s just the way people are, so embrace that but don’t let that distract you from the wonderful things you have now!

Ok ok I waxed poetic and I get embarrassed about doling out life advice like I have no problems and any idea wtf I’m doing, haha. You don’t have to listen to a word I say, just sharing some things I wish I had known much earlier! <3

ok i gotta slow down

i accidentally overmedicated myself with my focalin. not too much, dont worry, im not even prescribed a proper amount for an adult (which is a whole other can of worms i'll get into) and i only took one extra. ive done way more uppers than this, ill be ok i just need to do a little ramble here so i can slow down and vent

i took an extra bc i panicked and just felt overwhelmed by the amount of chores n shit i needed to catch up on from not having meds the past two weeks and living in a literal garbage pile

my psych wont up my dosage because she thinks its illegal?? but like... im on the lowest dosage possible, twice a day, instant release. i've been on it for over a year, and she can absolutely up the dosage. i used to have extended release prescription (god i miss those so much but i couldnt afford $165 a month plus my other meds ugh) and just one was 2 times stronger than the current dosage of my instant releases. so?????? why the fuck

all yall ppl who say "be honest with yr psychs!!!!" hahahahahaahaahaha they lie to me why tf would i be honest to them? especially when in the times i have been "honest" its actively harmed my treatment

like, do yall not understand how hard it is to get medication when your doctor doesnt even believe in the specific illness affecting you??

ive literally been told to "pray the anxiety away". i left that doc after one appointment. but thats just a PRIME example of why being "honest" just dont work here

ive been misdiagnosed and mismedicated all while my doctors just wouldn't listen to what the fuck i was saying and that i was dealing with and wanted to just use the "textbook conditions". and agoraphobia isn't well researched, because, well..... thats pretty much our biggest fear. being observed. being open with strangers. so its not really a "textbook condition".

its a complex issue that is different in every agor because it's usually induced by individual trauma, and its not a "societal/behavioral" illness and therefore not really something to "fix" with just meds. meds absolutely help. but since its not a "behavioral" illness, its not "as urgent of an illness" and i need to focus on my "REAL PROBLEMS" of anxiety and depression

which?????? what the fuck does "behavioral" even MEAN???? agoraphobia absolutely is behavioral, i cant fucking leave my house by myself, and BARELY with trusted people since ive regressed so bad due to covid panic. it effects my daily life and my "real issues" of anxiety and depression are actually fucking SYMPTOMS OF AGORAPHOBIA.

i will give credit where credit is due, but doctors (esp psychs) are NOT magical gods of medical knowledge that people hold them to be. living with a nurse ive learned that doctors are actually pretty fucking dumb and that they're really just "management/public relations" in hospitals. ive had a lot of bad experiences with doctors. so no i do not just trust them and tell them everything, they've probed to me countless times that they're not listening anyway.

and the reason why i put quotes around "honest" is because im not lying to them, but

idk how y'all's psych appointments go, but mine are literally just this conversation

"hi! how are you doing today?"

eh. im surviving haha

"hahaha yeah we all are. any panic attacks?"

ohhhh yeah hahahaha. plenty.

"oh! okay well lets move on, how is your add?"

i cant really focus on anything for more than like an hour but... at least i get that hour?

"well ya gotta just take the time ya got to do what ya need! how about the depression?"

well, i can barely leave my bedroom, which is covered in garbage because i cant go outside to take them to the trash and thats pretty depressing

"hahaha awww, im sorry to hear that. well, im sending your prescriptions to the pharmacy, see ya next month!"

i dont even have an opportunity to be honest. its so fast.

i dont want to have to find a new doctor because ive literally had to fight tooth and nail to find someone who would prescribe me anything that can actually HELP me, aka my vallium, which is a hell of a lot more difficult to get than any other fucking benzo for some reason???? the only others ive been prescribed was xanx, kpins. xanx is nice but its too temporary. its for when you're having an anxiety attack, not for general anxiety like valium is. and kpins?? mannnnnn FUCK KLONOPIN THAT SHIT DID NOTHIN.

idk i guess rant over for now thanks for not reading this long dumb post where i cry about not being properly medicated and being actively neglected & abused by doctors who literally don't believe in agoraphobia & refuse to acknowledge its existence or the consequences it has on both my mental state and my physical state.
